MARLBOROUGH - A Marlborough man was ordered held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing Monday after police said he beat his girlfriend, throwing her into a wall and then breaking a table.

During his arraignment Monday, Thomas S. Tresca Jr., 62, of 799 Farm Road Apt. 5, was ordered held without bail until a dangerousness hearing in Marlborough District Court on Thursday.

In a police report filed at the courthouse, officer Andrew LaRose wrote that police received a report that Tresca had assaulted his girlfriend on Friday. The woman told police that Tresca had punched her in the face with a closed fist, slammed her against a wall, breaking the glass of a large picure and threw her down on top of a small wooden table, which broke from the impact.

LaRose wrote that the woman had a black eye, bruising on her side and possibly a broken rib. The incident was reported to police on Sunday and Tresca left his apartment complex before police arrived, according to the report. It was unclear how he was eventually arrested.

Tresca was charged with assault and battery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, police said.
